RO-MAN 2020 Workshop on Lifelong Learning for Long-term Human-Robot Interaction (LL4LHRI)
https://sites.google.com/view/ll4lhri2020/
4 September 2020 - Naples, Italy
==== Overview ====
Lifelong learning is an essential requirement for social robots since it facilitates learning new concepts, situations, or abilities so that the robots can “appropriately adapt [their] behavior to the social context” as well as other contexts that may arise. The main objective of this first workshop is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers to identify and address key challenges for studying long-term / lifelong learning and its relevant aspects for social robotics in both lab and field.
==== Topics ====
We invite 6-page regular paper or 2-page position papers, using the RO-MAN 2020 format (see http://ro-man2020.unina.it/full-papers.php), from a wide range of theoretical, experimental and methodological approaches, for studying long-term/lifelong and longitudinal human-robot interaction. Suggested workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
§ Personalization and/or adaptation in lifelong HRI
§ Modelling user(s) and/or user behavior(s) in multi-session(or long-term) human-robot interactions
§ Modelling robot behavior in multi-session (or long-term) HRI
§ Modelling context in multi-session (or long-term) HRI
§ Agent/robot architectures for personalization / adaptation
§ Lifelong (long-term) human-agent interactions
§ Lifelong (long-term) multimodal interaction
§ Lifelong (long-term) multi-user/multi-agent interaction
§ Continual/lifelong machine learning
§ Development concerns, including deployment, scalability and complexity
§ Tools and testbeds for evaluation of multi-session or long-term HRI
§ Methodological challenges for achieving successful long-term HRI
§ Metrics for evaluating long-term/lifelong HRI
§ Deployed and/or emerging applications for long-term HRI (e.g., education, entertainment, edutainment, elderly care, therapy, rehabilitation, etc.)
§ User studies (longitudinal HRI studies, long-term user experience, acceptability, preferences, etc.)
§ Philosophical, legal and ethical considerations of long-term learning and adaptation in HRI
